R S PORTS. Barnes Soon to Regain RED AGAIN 1S DUE 0 SUPPLANT RICE Johnson Hegards Youngster, When Fit, More Formi- dable Than Veteran. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, May Nationals again will be the field as they did N for a time because of weakness at bat, already has been restored to the center | long Red | field post and before very Barnes, forced to the bench partly by an injured knee and partly by failure to hit well, once more will be taking care of the right garden. The knee hurt Barnes suffered during the exhibijion engagement with the Giants at Augusts, Ga., eight days be- fore the Nstionals opened the cham- plonship season has been so relieved that the young outfielder could return to the game now in an emergency and within a week he should be fully fit for duty. and once Barnes is ready he'll | get back from the veteran Sam Rice the | right-field position. There's no do about it From the outset of the Nationa training period Manager Walter John- | son_ was fmpressed by club had been doing its conditioning work many days the pilot came t0 re- gard Barnes as a hitter of worth. Two weeks before the league race began it was no secret that Barnes had won the job held so many years by Rice, even though Johnson made no definite announcement of the fact at the time, and it appears Johnson still considers Barnes, when the player is in good physical trim, the man for the job. Rice hit at a .328 clip last season and has back of him years of experience as a major league gardener, but past performances are not winning berths with the Nationals these days. It's the player who produces at the moment | Wwho gets the call and Mr. Johnson be- lieves Barnes, when fit, a more likely | player than Rice. Barnes Is Good Fielder. There's no question as to Barnes' ability to fleld. He is fleet, an excellent Judge of lofts and a good thrower. De- fensively he leaves little to be desired. At bat he has not always been so bril- liant, but he is powerful enough to drive the ball far and Johnson thinks Barnes will get his hits often, too. ‘What's more, the manager considers Barnes a man in a pinch, one ‘who more likely than not will hit when there are runners to be driven home, and that’s the kind of hitter the Na- tionals need these days. They get plenty of safeties. Their hit column, in so far as the total is concerned, generally compares favorably with the hit column of the opponent, but it's the hit in the pinch that tells, and the club cannot afford to have idle any player who promises to deliver in a crisis. For that reason more than any other Barnes will be rushed into the game as a regular at the earliest moment possible. P Aclement weather is shattering the National’'s schedul¢ this Spring. To date the club should have played 15 games. It had played but 10, rain pre- venting a contest here yesterday. That means much work for the pitchers within & few weeks, but they should be ready for it. Most of the members of the Washington hurling corps are | in trim for extra work now and should impro\'e when the warmer weather arrive er winding up the series with the Yankees here this afternoon, if the weather permits, the Nationals will board a train for Cleveland, where on Saturday they will begin their first invasion of the Western sector of the league this year, The West has had all the good breaks in weather this Spring. Maybe the Nationals will get their share of it soon. BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS American League. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. nnl‘!‘l’llll 24; Boston. W X7 c"-f'"" ork, rain. New O etrolt-Chicago, rain. BS.

B. Murphy of Columbia is happy. For the first time in his golfing life “Big Murph” shattered 80 in the qualifying round of a major tournament. Today Murphy is paired with Mark Flannagan of Georgetown in the Washington Golf and Country Club tourney. If Murphy never qualifies again, he will not forget that 75 made over a slow and soggy course that put him in the first flight with several strokes to spare. Maurice J. McCarthy, emperor of in- tercollegiate golfers, knocked the ball over the first nine holes in 35 strokes, starting back with two birdies on the first three holes and standing on the fourteenth tee with par for a 68. But at the fourteenth a putt slipped past the edge of the cup and at the fifteenth he dropped another stroke, where his | second shot hit squarely in a bunch of | honeysuckle at the base of a tree and he missed a four-footer for a 4, which he seemed to have earned. He blew another chance at the seventeenth, where a ten-foot putt rimmed the cup and then overpitched the green at the | eighteenth to take a 5 and score of 70. 1 X 1 i card of 121, with Miss Ora Smith next with 1486. The players will be divided into four flights of eight each or two flights of 16, with match play to be contested on & course of their own choosing with- in the next month. Frank Hartig and R.

A little known feat was that of young Dick Wilson of Pinehurst, N. C. He stood on the fourteenth tee on exactly even terms with McCarthy, and should have tied him for the medal. But he took a 6 on the fifteenth hole, and drove out of bounds at the seventeenth. Dr, Larry Otell’s score of 74 stood up for most of the day, leading the list from shortly after noon until McCarthy came in with his par-shattering mark. Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia, the | District titleholder, needed a 4 on the | cighteenth hole to break 74 when it | looked as if Otell's score would win the medal, but he pushed his drive to a sand trap, lost & shot and then took three putts for a 6 and a 75.

Reds Tie It Up in Ninth. The Cubs seemed to have the game in hand by 4 to 2 over the regulation route until Red Lucas and Hughey Critz smacked doubles in the home ninth on either side of a hit batsman. Guy Bush walked the next batter on purpose and pulled out of the hole. The thirteenth saw him in difficulty again. Dixon led off with a double and reached third on a sacrifice. Two batters were passed by intent, and Shaner and Allen fell down' in the pinch. ‘The Cardinals and the Pirates also | engaged in a 4-to-4 tie game over the 13-inning route yesterday as rain swept out all National League competition in the East. Wee Willie Sherdel ‘went the distance against Carmen Hill, Steve Swetonic and Irvin Brame. The Card- inal southpaw permitted the Pirates to | tie the score with a two-run rally in the ninth, and there the teams re- mained fastened until darkness fell over | Sportmen’s Park in the thirteenth. The Athletics featured an abbrevi- ated campaign in the American League by stampeding the Boston Red Sox by 24 to 6 at Fenway Park in a game which netted the A's 29 hits, good for 44 Dbast ‘The Mackmen seem to be clutching earnestly indeed for the bat- ting mantle shed by the Yankees.

Al Simmons capped the Athletic at- | tack with five hits and lost his chance {to get a sixth when he let a third strike float by unmolested in the eighth. One of Al's drives was a homer, which, with a =single, was delivered in the sixth round, helping the A's to 10 of their Tuns. Jimmy Foxx also contributed five safeties to the cause of Connie Mack, two of them home runs. Sammy Hale hit four times. Milt Gaston, Ed Durham, | Billy Bayne and Ed Catroll were exposed to the fire of the Mackmen.

That one counts for just as 4much in the standing of the clubs as the Athletic orgy at Boston, and serves to keep the Browns in front by a mar- gin of one and one-half games.
